Liu Fan clicked in and looked at the main content of the news. Google's DeepMind will invite two professional StarCraft 2 players to compete with their invented AlphaSta. Perhaps many people feel both unfamiliar and familiar with AlphaSta, because the AlphaGo that defeated Ke Jie belonged to DeepMind, and AlphaSta and AlphaGo can be regarded as brothers. And DeepMind was acquired by Google in 2014, so people rarely see this name in the media, only know that AlphaGo belongs to Google.

But in fact, DeepMind has only a five-year contract with Google. After the 19-year contract expires, it is not certain whether DeepMind will still belong to Google.

DeepMind is a very powerful company. Liu Fan, as a member of the artificial intelligence industry, is quite familiar with DeepMind. In a recent industry report, DeepMind was rated as the number one AI company in the world, with the depth of the world's number one. Learning Lab is a legendary enterprise in the entire artificial intelligence industry.

This time, Google suddenly proposed to compete with professional players in StarCraft 2, and the article also mentioned that they will show their latest breakthroughs in AI games to players all over the world after the game.

Liu Fan noticed that many people mentioned in the comments that this is simply a big blow to Ubisoft, which just made a big splash at E3. I have to say that Liu Fan also felt the same way.

At the same time, Liu Fan also saw that some netizens were eagerly waiting to see his own jokes, and they were advocating Google on the Internet, saying that the AI ​​game of Wood Dragon Technology was about to die. Don't embarrass yourself with the level of Huaxia people.

Sometimes Liu Fan really can't understand why there are always some people on the Internet who just don't like others?

It's hard to get these people to encourage others, but it's more positive than anything to get them to step on others.

Liu Fan checked the time carefully, the match between AI and professional players will start in ten days. Liu Fan is also ready to take a good look at what Google wants to do.

In the next ten days, Liu Fan first went to deal with some of the things at hand. The factory in his hometown had already been built. Liu Fan took two days to move the factory provided by the system there, and went home to have a meal and live there. one night. The villa is still being renovated, and it may take until the end of this year to live in it.

When I come back, it’s my graduation defense. Before my tutor was Liu Wei, Liu Fan originally wanted to surprise Liu Wei with his graduation thesis, but now Liu Wei resigned to help him start his own business, so Liu Fan casually wrote a I spent a day to help Meng Xiao understand this thesis, and then finished my graduation thesis on the 22nd.

On the 23rd, Liu Fan followed Xu Jing to her to see several locations for the company's building. Finally, Liu Fan settled on a place in the future technology city section of Hangzhou, and waited for the subway in Hangzhou to pass. The traffic here is quite convenient, and it is one of the most potential scientific and technological innovation contiguous blocks in Hangzhou, so Xu Jing was asked to start this matter and build the company building as soon as possible.

In the next few days, Liu Fan began to frequently contact the people introduced by Xu Feihong and the others. Some were willing to come and some were not. But slowly, the core team of the company's artificial intelligence + virtual reality project was formed. Liu Fan first invested 2 billion to let everyone spread the word. Get started.

Time flies in the busyness. On the afternoon of June 29th, Liu Fanshou watched the live broadcast in front of the computer. AlphaSta's pre-match with professional players was very hyped, and the attention was still very high.

After an hour of boring foreplay, the competition finally began. The two professional players who came this time are TLO, who is ranked 68 in the world, and MANA, who is ranked 19 in the world.

As for why it did not find the top players, Google did not explain.

Game start,

AlphaSta first played against TLO, a total of five rounds, and finally AlphaSta won 5:0.

Liu Fan looked carefully, but unfortunately he had never played StarCraft 2 before, so he couldn't see anything tricky. After the victory over TLO, there was a period of rest, but after reading the comments, many people have already started to praise AlphaSta in various ways, just like they praised AlphaGo at the beginning.

After a break, the match between AlphaSta and MANA began. There were still five games, and AlphaSta finally won 4:1. At this time, the comment area was already scrolling crazily. Liu Fan also paid attention to the situation in Post Bar and Weibo. Obviously, the influence of this game is still spreading.

And at this time of the game, many experts have emerged on the Internet to explain to everyone that it is much more difficult for AI to play StarCraft 2 than for AI to play Go, and then various analysis and explanations are to show that AlphaSta is particularly awesome. .

Liu Fan continued to pay attention to the live broadcast. After all kinds of bells and whistles, Dean, the head of Google AI, stood on the stage, "Thank you everyone, thank you every friend, I am honored to be able to share with so many game fans and AI fans around the world. Witness this historic moment.

Today, the victory of AlphaSta indicates that artificial intelligence has truly realized the transformation from supervised learning intelligence to reinforcement learning intelligence. Our AI is fully capable of planning games under incomplete information, and this will also mean that AI will provide Bring about a revolution in a greater sense for all mankind! "

Dean slowed down, as if he was enjoying the applause at the scene, "To be honest, I am very, very excited now, and I really want to go back and hug our R\u0026D team, but I know I still have a mission to complete today, in order to thank the players We have always supported and loved us and Blizzard, we will show you our latest AI game achievements at the scene today, and the strong AI game "Diablo 4" is officially released!"

"Fuck, didn't "Diablo 4" come out in 19 years?"

"Strong AI game? What the hell?"

"Blizzard has made a big move!"

The barrage exploded in an instant.

Next, Dean continued to vividly describe the development process of "Diablo 4" and the particularity of "Diablo 4". Try it live!

Dare to try it on the spot, it shows that you have confidence, which is more convincing than anything else. Through the live broadcast, you can see how enthusiastic you are now.

The big screen at the scene was quickly divided into eight pieces, and eight players began to enter the game.

After an hour of trial play, players gradually realized that Diablo 4 was different.

"What a real environment setting. The details of vision and touch can be affected. The most important thing is that the environment can be used! Doesn't this mean that just how to use the environment can make the game more colorful? Countless possibilities?"

"Have you noticed that the plots encountered by the eight players are all different, random plots? Or some setting? This is the rhythm to kill the master of the strategy."

"Fuck, this interaction is too real, isn't it? Are you sure it's an NPC?"

"NPCs can use their brains. The game suddenly has a very important link of strategy. This is too much a test of the player's ability, right? But I don't know why such a game will give people a particularly strong sense of substitution, okay? I want to challenge it!"

The trial play of the whole game lasted for a full three hours, but everyone was not tired. Instead, the more they watched, the more excited they became, because there are so many possibilities in the game, which will attract players inexplicably.

After the demo was over, Dean returned to the center of the stage to announce that "Diablo 4" will be officially released tonight in the early hours of US time!

There is no doubt that "Diablo 4" has ignited the enthusiasm of countless players around the world.

While "Diablo 4" dominates the network traffic, some netizens who always like to praise and step on one will naturally not miss this opportunity, and use their keyboards to push Wood Dragon Technology and Ubisoft to the hot searches...
